hope that works. i downloaded some half reasonable footage from last salmon mission. this was the second half of a pasting that a 85cm salmon dished out to my dad on a 2-4kg rod and a diawa excelliar 2500(I think thats what it is?)
the new olympus tough u8000 seems to go pretty sweet underwater too. stoked with that.
rock on

Top stuff Hansie That fish really had your dad working
It was like a tennis match - the way he was going from one side of the boat to the other. I'm pretty impressed with how well that rod loaded up.

thanks fellas
yeah cheers
the rod is a silstar powertip. cheap but pretty bloody strong. others will have better action but for about $50, this one you can lean right into and not cry if you do end up pushing it too far. i've had a ~8kg one for years now and its doubled over trying to pry spanglies away from bombies inside the reef at tantabiddy more times than i can remember. good rods IMO.
glad you liked the footage. i'll try get more this weekend with my sister and brother in law - they HATE catching salmon - not.
rock on
